What if

every moment spent in awe
of the authentic beauty that surrounds us
contributed to the healing
of our hearts
and by extension
the worrisome state of the world

What if

every moment dedicated
to bearing witness
to the more-than-human
life that abounds all around us
added to the joy in our soul
and by extension
the capacity for joyfulness everywhere

What if

every moment of rapt attention
to the bold unfolding of everyday miracles
every moment not spent
wrapped up in the day’s to do list
added immeasurably to our experience
of this amazing gift called Life

What if

every day we stepped outside
the noise and news and views
bombarding our senses and sensibilities
making time and taking time
finding ourselves replenished by the immediacy
of our living breathing planetary home

What if

we stepped away from the habitual
familiarity of all too many depleting routines
and into an expansive comfort zone
enriched by rituals and reverent practices
that invite us to embrace
the fullness of our time here
Who might we become
and what might become possible
in the process?
